1) There has been a lot of commentary on the RNC Convention--how professional it looks, how well produced.

I was skeptical that a convention without delegates would work but it has several advantages.

With no crowd the focus is always on the speaker.

2) Without a crowd interrupting with often obligatory applause, speakers have up to 30% more actual speaking time.

3) Cameras can't cut away to irrelevant delegate interviews ("So Sen. Romney, how terrible is President Trump?)

4) However, when small crowds are needed, the RNC has them as with Melania and Pence's speeches.

5) This has been a brilliant if unanticipated way to minimize damage from the lib networks.

6) Oh, and most GOP speakers are attractive.
